Default Florida Crew injury analysis

I have thought about all the injuries lately with members of the Florida Crew. Bulldog moe, Christie, Blue Dragon, Kimbo, Murph, Sleepman's Marylee. None of them riding related.

The overview is that it is safer for us to be on the bikes riding than to be doing other non-riding activities.

I feel fine! Knocking on wood...(now THAT hurts!).
I hope all of our Florida Crew members get well soon. The ones I
saw this weekend all seemed to be in good spirits and healing nicely.
What a bunch of 'troopers'!

Yeh, it just really sucks when you see everyone else riding and you can't. However, after I read the post about the rider being burnt just because he stopped for gas makes me think that my injury ain't that bad. I just hope he gets better soon.

On the bright side of things if they don't find your records you could sue them for enough money to pay for college and a couple bikes.

I think I'm about ready to saddle up again, myself. After everyone left yesterday, I took both bikes around the nieghborhood before parking them back in the garage. Clutch hand and shoulder felt pretty good. Now I just need to venture further out of the nieghborhood. Only two more weeks of therapy... still pains in the shoulder and limited on motion, but so long as I can reach the bars and work the clutch.. I'm good to go!!

Glad to hear that Greg! Get all healed up and maybe we can meet up with Derek at Jennings one weekend. Just to watch of course. At least for me.
